Article: News Tapa reports "Lee Soo Man concealing foreign cash" SM responds, "Companies set up legally by his father"

1. [+164, -2] Soo Man, how old are you? Why are you still using your father as an excuse?

2. [+42, -1] No wonder he gave his girlfriend a whole house... probably cost as much as a piece of gum to him

3. [+33, -1] He's really blaming his father on this?

4. [+25, -2] Is Soo Man trying to evade a scandal by using his father too?

5. [+7, -0] Lee Soo Man, you're really trying to claim that you didn't set these up? That your father did? How are you dragging even your father into this mess?

Article: SM to take "legal action" against <News Tapa> Lee Soo Man's paper company accusations

1. [+188, -8] News Tapa is getting some real work done

2. [+99, -5] This just smells fishy off the bat. There's no reason to set up any paper companies in a country known for tax avoidance other than to evade taxes. Lee Soo Man himself is so old, what could his own father possibly hope to achieve by going to Hong Kong to set up paper companies and make things so complicated? The whole point of a paper company is to avoid taxes. Sure, it could make sense if Lee Soo Man's father is richer than he is, but he isn't. The fact that we're even getting this report at this stage at all means that investigations have already been done and Lee Soo Man found a way to cut the chord at his father ㅋ

3. [+78, -10] SM doesn't even have an eye for K-Pop anymore. They have zero influence in Korea ㅋㅋㅋ their latest output is NCT and Aespa ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+25, -1] I'm amazed that this report even got out. SM has always been vigilant about their image and making sure any internal issues never get out. 

5. [+8, -0] ㅋㅋㅋ His father? Is he letting his father take the blame or what?

1. [+478, -18] People like you use the same cliche phrase all the time... "legal action"

2. [+96, -1] Always the same response with politicians and celebrity clowns "I never did that" ㅋㅋ

3. [+45, -1] If News Tapa says it's true, then it's true

4. [+43, -2] So dirty

5. [+32, -0] I think a lot of people don't know that Lee Soo Man was a criminal wanted by Interpol and praise him nowadays as being the "father of K-Pop"...
